One year on from the local elections in Tower Hamlets

Here are just a few of the things we've been working on over the last year

Our WorkPath programme supported over 1,100 residents into work last year

Over 800 new affordable homes were built in Tower Hamlets in 17/18 – more than almost else anywhere in the country. And we’re making major progress on delivering 2000 new council homes. We’re also investing £332m for new council housing schemes and temporary accommodation

We’re investing £1.7m in a new team of ASB enforcement officers to keep our streets safe on top of the additional police officers already funded by the council

Council funded police officers supported Operation Continuum which led to 190 drug dealers being arrested and referred almost 100 users to drug treatment last year

We’ve invested an extra £2.5m into our waste service and new graffiti team to keep Tower Hamlets clean

At our budget meeting in February, we agreed a £4.9m investment in Early Years and high quality childcare and additional support for our schools

Protecting funding for free school meals for and provided 20,000 meals in school holidays to tackle holiday hunger

We’re expanding our flagship Tackling Poverty Fund to help protect residents against the worst of the Tory austerity agenda
